    Chapter 352

    After Feng Ling finished explaining the Cloud Amidst Moon Spirit Technique to Su Hao line by line, she said,

    “The purpose of the Qi Induction Realm is to accumulate as much Spiritual Power as possible. However, every cultivation technique accumulates Spiritual Power differently, and the quality of the Spiritual Power they produce also varies. The Cloud Amidst Moon Spirit Technique in your hands is considered one of the finest techniques. It is in no way inferior to those of other sects. You may cultivate it with complete confidence according to its methods.”

    Su Hao nodded.

    “Thank you, Master. I understand.”

    Feng Ling then glanced at the still-bewildered Feng Cheng and sighed.

    “That will be all for today. Wait for me here again in six days.”

    With that, she floated away gracefully.

    Su Hao put away the manual, sighed softly, and walked down the mountain.

    Feng Cheng wanted to stop him, but in the end swallowed his words. Carrying the two small stools, he muttered to himself while descending,

    "What did I even learn today...?"

    "Ah, right... Master told me to continue cultivating the Heart Technique..."

    ...

    Returning to his room, Su Hao sat cross-legged on his bed and carefully reflected on today's lesson.

    "Although Master said that cultivation should be goal-oriented, and any method is acceptable as long as the final objective is achieved, what she truly meant wasn't for me to recklessly create my own path."

    "Rather, she was warning me not to become trapped by rigid cultivation formulas."

    "I certainly possess the ability to innovate, but now isn't the time."

    "First thoroughly understand the mature system behind the Cloud Amidst Moon Spirit Technique. Learn the principles others have painstakingly developed over countless generations. Only after fully understanding them should I consider making improvements or walking my own path."

    Throughout his studies, Su Hao had always believed one principle.

    Before completely understanding the classics left behind by one's predecessors, criticizing or modifying them was nothing more than arrogance.

    Arrogance obstructs learning.

    It also leads people astray.

    After reaffirming his learning philosophy, Su Hao reopened the Cloud Amidst Moon Spirit Technique and carefully reviewed Feng Ling's explanations.

    "The purpose of the Qi Induction Realm is to accumulate Spiritual Power."

    "The Cloud Amidst Moon Spirit Technique is essentially a method of accumulating Spiritual Power."

    "According to Master's explanation, the Spiritual Power cultivated through this technique is denser and more stable, making it especially beneficial for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm."

    After contemplating it several more times, Su Hao closed the manual.

    He entered a meditative state and attempted to refine Spiritual Power for the very first time.

    ...

    Using Mindfulness, Su Hao once again observed every part of his own body.

    His consciousness spread throughout himself.

    Following the subtle rhythms of his body, once his Mindfulness completely enveloped him, he performed exactly as described in the Cloud Amidst Moon Spirit Technique—

    "Focus upon the center of the Sea of Consciousness, allowing the drifting clouds to settle."

    To put it simply...

    Fill the body with Mindfulness.

    Then quietly observe the mental landscape.

    Simple.

    And indeed, it was.

    Su Hao quickly entered the proper state.

    After an unknown amount of time...

    Within the world illuminated by his Mindfulness, tiny golden specks gradually appeared throughout the mist covering his body.

    One...

    Then dozens...

    Then hundreds...

    Like stars slowly lighting up the night sky.

    Su Hao immediately understood.

    "This is Spiritual Power."

    "I've successfully refined Spiritual Power."

    He maintained the state until the golden lights stopped increasing before slowly withdrawing his Mindfulness and ending cultivation.

    The first thought that crossed his mind after opening his eyes was:

    "What exactly is the principle behind the formation of Spiritual Power?"

    Sweeping his Mindfulness across his body again, he saw the countless golden particles quietly suspended throughout him.

    They neither disappeared nor increased.

    Like tiny stars naturally growing inside his body.

    "So this is the Spiritual Power Master spoke of."

    "As for using Spiritual Power, that requires specific techniques. There's no rush."

    "First, I need to thoroughly understand how Spiritual Power is actually created."

    For cultivators of this world, discovering the true mechanism behind Spiritual Power was practically impossible.

    For Su Hao, however, it was remarkably simple.

    He merely entered the Marble Space and retrieved the corresponding biological data.

    Moments later, he opened his eyes.

    A look of understanding appeared on his face.

    "So that's how it works..."

    "Spiritual Energy... talent... and the Heart Technique... all three are indispensable."

    "The Spiritual Energy Wave provides the environmental foundation."

    "The protein-like substance produced through genetic expression provides the material foundation."

    "Meanwhile, the Mindfulness cultivated through the Heart Technique acts as the catalyst."

    The special protein generated from those unique genetic sequences normally remained stable, even while continuously exposed to the Spiritual Energy Wave.

    However...

    Once catalyzed by Mindfulness, the protein's molecular structure reorganized, transforming into an entirely new high-energy particle.

    That particle was the golden light Su Hao perceived—

    Spiritual Power.

    "So this... is cultivation."

    "The principle is far simpler than I imagined... yet completely different from what I expected."

    "Cultivation in this world truly is fascinating."

    Having grasped the essence behind the generation of Spiritual Power, Su Hao immediately understood the entire process.

    However, even cultivators who reached the Unity Realm would likely never perceive the underlying mechanism.

    To cultivators, the explanation was simply:

    There is Spiritual Energy throughout heaven and earth.

    Those blessed with Spiritual Roots use cultivation techniques to absorb it and transform it into Spiritual Power.

    The so-called superior cultivation techniques were merely methods refined over countless generations, unconsciously optimized through continuous practice.

    As for what Spiritual Energy truly was...

    Or what Spiritual Roots actually were...

    Very few cared.

    Not every civilization pursues science and logical deduction.

    That was simply a limitation imposed by its era.

    If one assumed everyone in every world naturally followed scientific reasoning...

    That would itself be an extremely narrow way of thinking.

    Su Hao quietly fell into contemplation.

    "Since this protein-like substance can be transformed into Spiritual Power through the combined effects of the Spiritual Energy Wave and Mindfulness..."

    "Then I should be able to artificially recreate the necessary conditions and mass-produce Spiritual Power."

    He entered the Marble Space, manifested a notebook and pen, and began recording his ideas.

    The mechanism reminded him of producing oxygen through catalytic reactions in a laboratory.

    "First..."

    "I could use Rune Arrays to artificially generate a Spiritual Energy Wave, just as I previously created Spatial Waves."

    "If successful, Spiritual Power could be refined anywhere—even in entirely different worlds."

    "Second..."

    "Using genetic engineering, I could modify plants or animals to continuously produce this protein-like substance."

    "After extraction, it could be converted directly into Spiritual Power."

    "This is probably the true nature of so-called Spirit Herbs, Spirit Beasts, Blood Spirits, and similar treasures."

    "This research project can be assigned to Yashan later."

    "Third..."

    "Mindfulness functions much like manganese dioxide in a chemical reaction."

    "It participates as a catalyst."

    "But perhaps Mindfulness itself isn't irreplaceable."

    "There may exist another catalyst capable of fulfilling the same role."

    "Fourth..."

    "The true purpose of cultivation is to accumulate sufficient Spiritual Power to gradually construct an entirely new life system within the body."

    "Eventually, the spirit becomes independent of the physical body, dramatically extending one's lifespan."

    "According to this world's cultivation theory..."

    "Once every part of the human body is completely transformed into a Spiritual Power lifeform..."

    "One achieves true immortality."

    Su Hao's pen paused.

    He suddenly thought of another issue.

    "Master said that the highest known realm today is the Unity Realm."

    "Even cultivators at that level only extend their lifespan by around two thousand five hundred years."

    "Far from true immortality."

    "Which means..."

    "Even the strongest cultivators in this world have failed to completely replace their biological bodies with a Spiritual Power life system."

    "The path of cultivation..."

    "Has reached a dead end."

    "And the bottleneck lies precisely at its most critical step."

    Every single problem can be solve by genetic engineering.

    Got no talent..... No problem I will create my own talent!!!

    Feng Cheng hesitated to stop him but said nothing. He withdrew his hand and mumbled to himself, “Feng Cheng, what did you learn today? Well, I learned to ‘continue practicing the heart technique!'”

    Poor Fang Cheng crybaby

    Throughout his academic journey, Su Hao always knew a fundamental truth: before fully understanding the classics passed down by others, it’s arrogant to modify or criticize them. This leads to arrogance, a hindrance to learning, and a potential deviation.

    Ah, the good ol Chesterton Fence
